INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS

Positioning

After your washing machine has been placed in the desired location, level it by means of the front left foot, them the counternut must be blocked by means of the special key purposely provided. Warning: if the machine is not perfectly leveled, it will be unstable, noisy and may lead to malfunctions and broken parts. Do not place the machine on mats or carpets.

Water connection

Loading: Connect the water supply hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" (gas type) fitting, insert the rubber washer supplied with the machine and fully tighten the ring nut. If the water tap is new or has not been used for a long time it is recommended to let the water run for a while before completing the connection. Connect the other end of the water supply hose to the machine and again insert the rubber washer between the hose and the solenoid valve fitting.

Drain: Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe (with a minimum internal diameter of 4 cm.) or hook it on a sink or bathtub, without crimping or creating any sharp curves. The hose should be positioned at a height ranging from a minimum of 70 cm. to a maximum of 100 cm. as shown in the figure.

Electrical Connection

Make sure that the electrical system can support the maximum current load indicated on the rating plate on the rear side of the machine. The washing machine should be connected to an electrical grounded outlet, as prescribed by law. This outlet must be easily accessible after the installation of the washing machine.

If the supply card is damaged, it should be replaced by a special cable available at the manufacturers or at the technical service.

The company will not be responsible for any damage to persons or things due to non-compliance with these instructions.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

This washing machine does not require any particular maintenance. All the end of each wash is recommended to leave the door open so that air will circulate and dry the interior of the machine. The external part of the machine should never be cleaned with abrasive detergents since this would ruin the enamel coating as well as the synthetic parts.

The models without base are provided with a self-cleaning drain pump.

Recom:mandation for the user - How to use your washing machine economically and ecologically.

Optimum load - Always try to use the washing machine at full load, as this will use less water, powder and energy than two smaller loads.

You want to use the pre-wash? - Only use the pre-wash for very dirty linen. If you don't use the pre-wash, you save from 5% to 15% in energy, washing powder, water and time.

Is a high temperature wash required? - To avoid high temperature washing, treat particularly dirty items with a stain remover of leave the worst stains to soak beforehand. You will save energy in this way.

FUNCTIONS AND PREPARATION FOR WASHING

Detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser is divided into four compartments:

1) pour washing detergent in this compartment for the prewash cycle (MAX 45 gr).
2) washing detergent in this compartment for the wash cycle (MAX 130 gr).
3) ▲ pour bleaching liquid into this compartment following the advice on the packing (do not exceed in quantity over the filter grid)
4) pour softener into this compartment following the advice on the packing (max 60 ml - do not exceed in quantity over the filetr grid)

ON/OFF

By pressing this button the machine turns on and executes the set wash cycle. It is used to turn the washing machine on and off.

POWER INDICATOR LIGHT

When lit, it indicates that the washing machine is electrically energized.

HALF LOAD

Reduces the amount of water used in the wash and rinse cycles, thus greatly reducing water and electricity consumption as well as the amount of washing detergent. It is used to wash a reduced load of dry clothes (MAX 2.5 kg).

ENERGY SAVINGS

By pressing this button the washing temperature will remain at 60^ C thus greatly reducing the electricity consumption. It is used for slightly dirty clothes on white normal wash cycles with or without prewashing and in particular with detergents recommended for washing at 60^ C or liquid detergents.

SPIN BY-PASS BUTTON

By pushing this button the washing machine will not spin during or at the end of the wash cycle. This function is used for no-spin fabrics.

THERMOSTAT DIAL (Not included in certain models)

To set the temperature, turn the dial until the mark coincides with the selected temperature. It is used to regulate the washing temperature from 30°C to 90°C based on the selected wash cycle and the type of fabrics to be washed. It is recommended to follow the wash cycle table. By turning the dial to this symbol * the machine will perform a cold wash cycle, which is particularly indicated for delicate temperature-sensitive fabrics.

AUTOMATIC NO-WRINKLE

In the delicate and wool cycles, the washing machine will stop after the last rinse without draining the water. To drain water and perform a short spin cycle, set the timer dial to the delicate spin cycle (see wash cycle table). To drain only the water, set the timer dial to the drain cycle (see wash cycle table). In both cases the machine will complete the cycle automatically.
